5G-INDUCE
Open cooperative 5G experimentation platforms for the industrial sector NetApps
A 5G-PPP phase III project funded by the EU
5G-INDUCE targets the development of an open, ETSI NFV compatible, 5G orchestration platform for the deployment of advanced 5G NetApps. The platform’s unique features provide the capability to the NetApp developers to define and modify the application requirements, while the underlay intelligent OSS can expose the network capabilities to the end users on the application level without revealing any infrastructure related information. This process enables an application-oriented network management and optimization approach that is in line with the operator’s role as manager of its own facilities, while it offers the development framework environment to any developer and service provider through which tailored made applications can be designed and deployed, for the benefit of vertical industries and without any indirect dependency through a cloud provider.
Core Activities
NetApp Management Platform
Industry 4.0 NetApps
5G Experimentation Infrastructures
Businesses and exploitation potentials
The identification of the enabling Businesses and exploitation potentials towards all the impacted market stakeholders (i.e.
1. industrial players,
2. network operators, and
3. a large pool of NetApp developing SMEs/start-ups),
through a beneficial business model for all, while maintaining discrete and distinct roles for each of these stakeholders.
Experimentation Facilities
Three advanced and unique industrial infrastructures interconnected to 5G core through the operators and vendor driven 5G network.
The 5G-INDUCE experimentation facilities are designed to provide realistic environments for the deployment and evaluation of industry 4.0 oriented NetApps in a diverse type of industries.
